What is Crown Coat and how does it work?

We describe Crown Coat as a grey, durable, and rubberized paint. It’s a chemical formula designed to bind to masonry cement and endure adverse weather. It repairs damaged chimney crowns by stopping leaks that would eventually result in major degradation. (A crown is the cement slab that sits at the very top of your masonry chimney, protecting the brick and mortar beneath from water entry.) Midtown Chimney Sweeps’s Crown Coat product waterproofs your chimney’s top, causing water to shed off the chimney crown. This benefits older chimneys, which otherwise fall into disrepair quickly and then require expensive masonry work. As an extra comfort to you, Crown Coat comes with a 15-year warranty.

Why Should I Have a Midtown Technician Do My Crown Coat Work?

When your chimney show signs of deterioration (such as that the mortar joints are worn away by the weather), you need to have the masonry repaired with Crown Coat. That product is commercially available so Midtown professionals can purchase it and protect the top of your chimney. Don’t take a risk by climbing a ladder to perform the work yourself. Midtown Chimney Sweeps technicians take secure their ladders and prepare for the ascent, taking only the necessary tools up with them.

Bricks have varying degrees of hardness and water permeability, and the same is true for mortar and the masonry crown. Avoid pursuing a total crown replacement if your chimney is structurally sound and only requires special coating. Crown Coat is made in the United States, so you can enjoy the fact that you’re supporting companies owned by fellow Americans. Midtown Chimney Sweeps technicians are specially trained and have the Qualified Chimney Professionals credential to qualify for working on chimneys with these issues.

Advantages of Crown Coat:

  • Fills cracks, gaps, and voids; the entire crown will be coated and weather-tight.
  • Stops crack formation that results in chimney leaks.
  • Prevents further need for chimney and fireplace repairs.
  • Helps to restore and preserve the chimney’s integrity.

Midtown Chimney Sweeps technicians are trained and equipped for applying Crown Coat properly. They have experience in working on all kinds of chimneys, whether older or newer, residential or commercial. No matter when your residence was built, Midtown technicians will promptly repair your chimney with the right products.

I just had MIdtown Chimney install a second pellet stove in my home, after they had installed one in a different part of the house earlier this year. I used them a second time because of the great and timely work they completed the first time. The second install was no different. The install team of Tanner, Chris and Levi were very professional and all around great people to have in your home. I will be continuing to use Midtown to for the annual cleanings.

Highly recommend this company! Today we had Marcus come out to do an inspection of our fireplace, and do a chimney sweep, and he was awesome. Very professional, knowledgeable and helped us figure out the solution to our problem. He even gave me some advice about how we can disperse heat more throughout our house (yay!). We'll definitely be using them again when we need our chimney serviced. Thank you, Marcus!
Response from the owner: We truly appreciate you sharing your positive experience with us, Chiara! Marcus is one of the best and a true professional! We're so happy you'll be able to use your fireplace safely and efficiently this holiday season! Looking forward to connecting again, take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

I could not be more pleased with our stove and the services we received from Midtown. Byron and his team are great folks with incredible knowledge and expertise. We purchased a new Regency brand wood stove, and it is truly amazing! In addition, we've already had the crew service and sweep our stove, and I feel it will serve us well for many years to come. I am not the easiest person to please, and Byron and his team have far exceeded my expectations. Many business owners could learn from the professionalism this team shows. Thank you, Byron team!
Response from the owner: Wonderful, thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with us, Joshua! Your kind words are truly appreciated and we're so happy you'll be able to enjoy your new Regency wood stove just in time for the Holiday season! Thank you again and we look forwarding to connecting in the future, take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

This is a wonderful company. Byron and his team did a complicated re-route of a flue that our house's original owner had done improperly. They were timely, professional, and kind. Further, they have been super helpful when it comes to answering questions that we have about different things related to our stoves. It is so good to have a trustworthy company that does consistently good work.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Toby! We are so happy to be of excellent and trustworthy service! Thank you again for your review and please don't hesitate to reach out if anything is ever needed, we're always happy to share our knowledge to keep your chimney and stoves working properly and safely! Take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

Since writing the review below I have been in contact with Alice from Midtown Chimney Sweeps. Alice took the time to review the scheduling log to find out how my appointment was rescheduled. She worked with me to arrange for their technician, Mike, to fit me into the schedule this week. Mike was extremely polite and very knowledgeable about how to care and to prolong the life of my wood burning fireplace. My chimney flue was pretty dirty. Mike took the time to put a second drop cloth down to ensure the soot stayed in the fire box. The no show on the original appointment was an inconvenience, and it did cause me to look for other chimney sweep options. I am glad I stuck with Midtown, though. They were the only chimney sweep company that was willing to offer me a cleaning quote over the phone. I have updated my score from a 0 to a 5. I would recommend them to anyone reading this review.If I could give 0 stars I would. I scheduled an appointment with this company for a Monday at 3:30. We received an email on Friday with all of the instructions on how to prepare for our visit. I left work early to get home at 3:00 to wait for the technician. At 4:00 I called and found out the owner of the company moved our appointment date out to Friday. We didn't receive a call or notification. What kind of company does that? If you choose Midtown Chimney Sweeps, I suggest calling frequently to make sure they haven't haphazardly changed your appointment time. Or, better yet, just choose a company you can actually count on.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Stephen! We are so happy we were able to make this right for you and we appreciate the continued feedback, it makes us even better at what we do! Please have a lovely holiday and don't hesitate to reach out to us again if anything else is ever needed, thank you!!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

We will definitely have Doug clean our chimney moving forward. Thanks for the excellent service. You were fantastic!
Response from the owner: Wow, thank you so much Nicki! We will definitely pass this along to Doug! We are so happy to be of excellent and kind service! Looking forward to next year's cleaning!

I recently worked with Midtown Chimney for a chimney installation in my Nederland, Colorado home, and I can’t say enough good things about them. After a severe windstorm, we discovered that our newly installed chimney had been torn off, causing a leak that damaged our downstairs gym’s walls and ceiling. To my surprise and relief, Midtown Chimney immediately took full responsibility without hesitation. They replaced the entire chimney chase and chimney with a brand-new unit and also agreed to reimburse me for all repair costs related to the interior damage.What truly sets Midtown Chimney apart is their integrity, honesty, and professionalism. Rather than deflecting blame or making excuses, they owned the issue and fixed it promptly. In today’s world, it’s rare to find a company that genuinely stands behind its products and services. Midtown Chimney is one of those exceptional companies, and I’m incredibly grateful for their dedication to doing what’s right.If you’re looking for a company that cares about your satisfaction and will do whatever it takes to ensure a positive outcome, I highly recommend Midtown Chimney. They’ve earned my trust, my respect, and my business for years to come.
Response from the owner: Wow, we truly appreciate your time sharing your positive experience with us, Daniel! Thank you so much for your understanding and kind words! We are so happy to be of honest and professional service! Please don't hesitate to reach out if anything is ever needed and we look forward to connecting again! Take care!- The Midtown Chimney Team🎩

After our annual chimney cleaning and camera inspection, our technician Levi noticed 2 anomalies in two separate chimney flue sections of our 36 year-0ld Mendota Hearth wood fireplace. Levi took still images of the flue separations so we could both evaluate the problem and come up with a maintenance plan. We decided on a complete chimney flue replacement that went absolutely as planned. From the drywall opening cut in a closet wall which was needed to access the top of the firebox to the chimney cap removal to the closet wall drywall replacement and clean-up, we could not have been more satisfied. We would highly recommend using Levi and his crew again, and look forward to his Fall cleaning and inspection.Jon & Patty LangleeDuluth, MN
Response from the owner: Wow, thank you so much Jon! We truly appreciate your recommendation and time sharing your positive experience with us! Levi is one of the best and a true professional!

We are very pleased with the fireplace installation and masonry work done by Midtown Chimney and Fireplace Store. We had a wood burning insert that was no longer code compliant and Byron educated us on the new code and helped us with a turn-key installation. Other companies gave us bids, but did want to include any masonry work. Chris was very attentive to doing everything right! Thank you, Byron . . . We finished just in time for the incoming storms!
Response from the owner: Wow, thank you Jeff for sharing your positive experience with Byron and Chris! Byron is a true professional and always happy to share his knowledge! Glad everything was completed in time for you to enjoy your new wood burning insert this winter season!
